Performing CPR on an infant requires calmness, quick action, and confidence. Every second matters. When an infant becomes unresponsive and isn’t breathing normally, begin CPR immediately. First, check for responsiveness by gently tapping the baby’s foot and calling their name. If there’s no response, shout for help and have someone call 911.
Place the infant on a firm, flat surface. Use two fingers (usually your index and middle finger) in the center of the chest, just below the ni**le line. Give compressions about 1½ inches deep at a steady rate of 100–120 per minute—think of the beat of “Stayin’ Alive.” After 30 compressions, open the airway with a gentle head tilt–chin lift. Give 2 small rescue breaths, watching for chest rise each time.
If you’re alone and have no phone nearby, perform CPR for 2 minutes (about 5 cycles) before leaving to call for help. If another person is present, one can perform compressions while the other calls 911 or prepares an AED. Continue CPR until emergency help arrives or the infant shows signs of life.
Even if you’ve never been certified, learning CPR can save a life—especially in infants, where choking, sudden illness, or cardiac events can happen without warning. ❤️ Every parent, caregiver, and healthcare worker should know these steps.
